Looking for an old post. Texas to Hawaii.

I’m looking for an older post. If my memory is correct. An fj40 was delivered from Texas to Hawaii. It was a really well written adventure. Anyone remember the post? Link? Thanks in advance!

It was called "Saving the old Rustbucket". One of the best threads on ih8mud.

Thread 'Saving The Old Rustbucket--My 1982 FJ40 Tale'

Jan 6, 2012

Here's my disclaimer. I never planned to start a rust repair thread, because I don't have much to offer that you haven't seen before. Rust isn't new, and I didn't think there would be any interest. However, a couple of my Cruiserhead friends thought the story of my "ultimate truck" purchase and subsequent repair woes was entertaining, and might even be helpful to any newbie flirting with the idea of joining the 40 cult. So here we go, the long version, a tale of several 40's ending with my 1982 Rustbucket, with lots of pics. Buckle up.

Background. I owned an FJ40 during my last two...
